Product Description
*** Please note the unusual format of this title. This is how the publisher intended the book to be, and is not faulty. *** The comprehensive book on the visionary Hussein Chalayan, one of the most innovative, experimental, and conceptual fashion designers working today. Internationally acclaimed, Hussein Chalayan is known for his inventive use of materials and integration of new technology into his designs. He is also celebrated for putting the creative process itself on view. Some of his best-known designs include a paper dress that can be folded into an envelope and airmailed, armchair covers that transform into dresses, and a coffee table that reveals itself to be a wooden skirt. Original and groundbreaking, his designs are also pretty and modern, and this book explores that continuum. Featuring Chalayan s complete body of fashion and creative work including his installations, videos, and photographs this unique and beautiful volume is as thought-provoking as it is stunning and is sure to be coveted by fashion, art, and design connoisseurs.

Off center designer warrants off center book
22 Sep 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great book on a very unique designer. I like how the collections are divided and discussed and how each collection was given a logo so that you can place each photo to the matching collection. Be aware that the book looks like it is printed off center at an angle. I actually called Rizzoli and they told me that that is the was the designer wanted to book to appear.

10 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback
One of the most inventive and creative futurists Hussein Chalayan's book holds great value for anyone in the world who is into about his way of fashion. Not to be seen as a coffee table book due to exceptional essence inside.
